Go Ahead and Daydream, It's Good for you
Daydreaming is often thought of as wasting time or not being productive, especially in the work place. New studies are showing that daydreaming is actually beneficial for your mind. As the world becomes faster paced and more is demanded of us from teachers and bosses, it is becoming less likely that the average person is taking even just a few minutes for themselves to sort through thoughts and ideas or daydream about life or work goals. It is when we daydream that we are able to relax our mind from the constant stimulation that we face everyday. Whether it be family or work, there always seems to be a certain amount of stress we all feel and it adds up. Daydreaming for a few minutes each day is a good way to relieve some of that stress and get your ducks in a row sort of speak. You will feel more prepared to face the daily stresses in your life and ultimately become more productive.
If you are up north, lose yourself while watching the snow flakes fall from the sky. Bring yourself back to your childhood when you used to make snow angels or build snow forts.
If you are in the south, take a seat on a bench outside and let the warm breeze take your mind elsewhere. Feel the sand beneath your toes on a beach or smell the freshly cut grass on the golf course.
One thing is for certain, once you start daydreaming, there is no telling where your brain will take you and it really doesn't matter. Simply daydreaming for a few minutes will relieve some stress and help you to see things clearer.
As glass artists, I'm sure you will be able to generate some creativity that you can translate into your glass art. Be sure to take a few minutes each day to reflect on your accomplishments as well as your goals. Your body, mind and soul will thank you as will your creativity. When you are done daydreaming and you feel a renewed sense of energy and creativity, visit AAE Glass to turn your newly envisioned glass art ideas into a reality!

Tanya Veit's Glass Fusing Boot Camp at AAE Glass in Cape Coral, Florida
The enthusiasm in the AAE Glass Art studio this morning was like nothing I have seen before. I stood in awe at the back of the room and listened to 10 talented and creative glass artists introduce themselves to each other. The experience levels vary, but with Tanya putting on her show, experience doesn't matter. If you are hungry to get more out of your glass fusing, Tanya will make sure exactly that happens and she will make sure you have fun doing it.
These glass artists traveled from around the country to participate in Tanya Veit's very first glass fusing boot camp this week and for many of them, this is their second trip to the AAE Glass Art studio in sunny Cape Coral, Florida.
To put this in context, AAE Glass is a Veit family run business, with Tanya and her glass fusing expertise leading the way. The blessing and the curse of owning a family business is we see each other ALL of the time! At work, Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, even on the rare days that we get off we will run into each other in the grocery store or the Monkey Bar (those of you who have visited us know where this is). We are a very close knit group down here in SW Florida and we love to poke fun at each other as well as share in great opportunities. It is all in good fun, but because Tanya is the "face" of the operation, we make sure not to let her get a big head from all of the emails from students saying things like; "I have been fusing glass and taking classes for 30 years and Tanya's workshop is by far the most fun I have ever had." or "Tanya's glass fusing techniques have helped me grow my business and I have been able to turn my glass art from a hobby into a full time job." or my favorite and we get this one on a regular basis, "Taking Tanya's class has given me a new motivation and passion for glass fusing, before her class, I hadn't worked in my studio for years and now I can't get enough." I think you get the picture that Tanya is not only changing the glass fusing world, but she is positively touching peoples lives along the way with her genuine caring attitude and her ability to instill confidence in the artists who just need a little push. She is not afraid to challenge her students.
That brings me back to this morning and listening to the introductions. The compliments about Tanya that the repeat students were sharing with the first time students really made an impression. The fact that these glass artists took the time out of their lives to travel to Cape Coral, Florida for a second time or a third time in some cases just to learn from Tanya is the highest compliment AAE Glass and Tanya Veit can be given. I think today is the first day that we will take it easy on Tanya and not harass or tease her because she truly has earned her place in the glass fusing world and AAE Glass is ground zero. We are just getting started.
We have so many fun things planned this week outside of the studio; Dublin's Irish Pub tonight for a welcome dinner, the Monkey Bar on Friday for live music and dancing and to close out the week, a BBQ at Tanya's. A Tanya Veit workshop is more than a learning experience, it is an experience all on its own.
I will do my best to give updates via this blog post throughout the week, but to truly get a feel of what I am describing, you will need to pack your bags and take a glass fusing vacation to SW Florida. Consider your arm twisted!

Cape Coral, Florida Leads the Way in 2013 Employment Outlook
AAE Glass has had the pleasure of calling Cape Coral, Florida home for the past three years. We have operated the AAE Glass Art Studio in the heart of downtown Cape Coral for the past year and have made it a priority to get involved with the community. It is important to us as small business owners to portray the city in the best light whenever possible, that is why we are proud to share this article from Forbes Magazine with you.
Cape Coral/Fort Myers Florida is forecasting a 23% net job increase in 2013. This is the highest number in the nation and the city is taking the lead very seriously. Lee county, Florida was one of the hardest hit counties in America when the real estate bubble burst a few years ago. After listening to political debates these past few months, no matter which side you are on, it is refreshing to read positive news, such as this. If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Cape Coral, Florida, take advantage if the opportunity presents itself. For our glass artist friends located right here in SW Florida, lets make an effort to support art of all kinds and make Cape Coral, Florida a hotbed for artists of all mediums.

These techniques will bring your glass art to the next level and give you creative ideas that will renew your love for glass fusing. The results are in and the testimonials don't lie. See what people are saying about these unique glass fusing workshops.
We are proud to offer special guest instructor David Alcala to the AAE Glass studio in late April. There are 4 dates to choose from and only a few seats left to learn a sand to glass technique that will have you hooked in no time. David is the creator of the new and exciting fusing product called flexi-glass. If you haven't had a chance to try it, make sure you add it to your list. New and different uses of the product are being discovered everyday.

AAE Glass wants to start 2012 with a bang! We are giving away 1 seat to Extreme Fusing I and 1 seat to Extreme Fusing II (AAE Glass studio only) to the 2 glass artists who wow us with glass art using AAE Glass decals. We want to encourage and challenge glass artists who use our products in a unique way and give you a chance to learn from Tanya Veit herself as well as expand your glass fusing knowledge as a whole.
Tanya has been teaching her unique glass fusing techniques in sold out studios across the country for the past year. She is taking her show international and traveling to Canada, The United Kingdom and Norway this summer in addition to her North American tour. You can view her class schedule HERE. Tanya comes from a family of teachers and is a natural herself. Her enthusiasm, ability to have fun and superb knowledge make her glass fusing workshop a one of a kind experience.
We aren't going to give you any restrictions as far as what to make, how to make it, etc. We don't want to limit your creativity. In fact, we are looking for the most creative, "outside the box" piece you can come up with. Don't be afraid to get crazy. The only thing that is a "must" is the use of an AAE Glass decal or combination of AAE Glass decals in your piece. You can frame it in a silver setting if you like as well.

Stop Using Inferior Glass Fusing Decals Today
AAE GLASS
Hello glass artists. My name is Mark Veit and I am lucky enough to work with my sister-n-law Tanya Veit, as well as glass artists around the world. Her glass art speaks for itself and her willingness to help other glass artists speaks even louder. But this blog post is about me getting something off my chest.
For those who don't know me, I am very analytical and straight forward, I can thank my father for that. It gets me in trouble sometimes, but more often than not, it gets the job done. I pride myself on being as efficient and productive as possible. For whatever reason, I have been inundated with emails and phone calls from glass artists these past few days claiming that our decals have been losing shape and the color has been fading. Of course I reached out to Tanya for her expertise and after asking the glass artists to send me pictures of the decals they are using, low and behold, NONE of the decals are AAE Glass decals. I kid you not, ZERO were AAE Glass designs. Still my phone keeps ringing and my email box keeps filling with these questions.
Now many companies are trying to"duplicate" AAE Glass designs because we have the best selling designs on the market, not to mention Tanya Veit creates these designs herself. Our "competition" is trying to produce similar cats and sea life, but with uneven whiskers and goofy bodies, don't get me started on those companies trying to copy the TREE OF LIFE decal that Tanya Veit created from scratch. You just aren't going to get the same detailed design with the same superior screen printed images anywhere but AAE Glass. These knock offs are digitally printed and can not hold a candle to any AAE Glass decal. Sure our decals may cost a few more pennies, but do you want to go through 4 or 5 cheap decals before you get the image you are looking for, when 1 AAE Glass decal will do? Not to mention AAE Glass offers superior customer service, not just in the glass industry, but business in general. Where else can you send an email to a company and have the owner of that company, who is also a world renowned glass fuser, personally answer your questions? This is what AAE Glass is about. A wise man once told me, if you take care of your customers, your customers will take care of you ten fold. The old man was right!
Remember, I like to nip things in the bud and that is exactly what I am going to do right now!
If you are using any decal that is fading or losing shape, you are not using an AAE Glass decal. If you look back to a few posts ago, I explained why AAE Glass decals are the best on the market, BAR NONE! If you haven't read, please take a look HERE. I am going to expand on that statement. I haven't run this past Tanya yet, so please keep it quiet, but here goes...If you are struggling with digitally printed decals of scenes that look like they are being copied, STOP IT! Send me your inferior decals and I will replace them with AAE Glass decals for nothing more than the shipping cost. We consider ourselves leaders in the industry and will stand behind our product 100%. Not only do we provide the best decal on the market, we want to expose you to these decals for FREE. Even if it costs us a few bucks to replace your inferior decals, we are 100% confident that you will never use anything less than an AAE Glass decal from here on out.
To trade in your inferior decals for AAE Glass decals simply email me at mark@aaeglass.com and explain to me the problem. I will get your new decals in the mail immediately and Tanya or I will be here to answer any questions you may have along the way. We understand that each kiln fires differently and if you have trouble on your first couple, we will figure it out together until you find the sweet spot. Once you find that sweet spot, your jewelry will take on a professional look that could never be achieved with digitally printed decals.
Some may call me cocky, some may even call me crazy...Not a problem, I have heard it all...One thing you can't call me, in this instance at least, is wrong. I have several decals ready to ship out immediately. Just contact me at mark@aaeglas.com and explain to me the trouble you are having and we will remedy it. Even if you are having trouble with our decals, WE WILL FIX IT, together. Once fired properly, you will never use anything but an AAE Glass decal.
Thanks for letting me rant and I look forward to hearing from everyone.
Mark Veit
